Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Prior to being launched into space, Flash Gordon was a well-known quarterback for what NFL team?

Answer: Jets

This may have been mentioned with the airplane pilot, who asked Flash to sign a magazine for his son. Flash later announced himself as quarterback for the NY Jets to Emporer Ming. Believe it or not, Kurt Russell also auditioned for this role...but Sam Jones was eventually cast, after the director's mother-in-law spotted him on an episode of "The Dating Game".

Incidently, all of Sam Jones' lines in "Flash Gordon" were dubbed!

2. Dr. Hans Zarkov, Dale Arden, and Flash Gordon land on what planet?

Answer: Mongo

Because Zarkov believed the earth was under attack, he built a rocket ship, apparently to confront the invaders. The plane Dale and Flash were traveling in crash-landed into Zarkov's laboratory. When Zarkov attempted to abduct Dale, Flash tried to fight Zarkoff, accidentally launching the ship in the process.

3. One of the few from this movie to go on to a more recognizable role was Timothy Dalton (Prince Barin). What secret agent did Dalton portray for two movies?

Answer: James Bond

Dalton appeared in 2 James Bond movies: "The Living Daylights" (1987), and "License To Kill" (1989). He also appeared in "The Rocketeer", and the miniseries "Scarlett"

4. As Dr. Zarkov receives his "brain drain", images from his memory appear on a screen. Klytus exclaims "Now he showed promise!" To whom was he referring?

Answer: Adolf Hitler

Zarkov's memories of the Holocast triggered the images. Apparently Klytus felt Ming and Hitler shared similar values...

5. A Ming subordinate whispers "This will help you on your way", to a hooded Flash, just before being put to death. What is Flash given?

Answer: An injection

The injection allows Flash to recover later, as requested by Ming's daughter, Aura. The subordinate could not resist her seductive nature...

6. What is the name of Emperor Ming's daughter?

Answer: Aura

Aura, the very sexy and manipulative daughter of Ming. She shares an ongoing, yet turbulent, relationship with Prince Barin. She is not above seducing whomever she chooses to get what she wants.

7. What Planet is Prince Barin ruler of?

Answer: Arboria

Known as The Forest Planet, the inhabitants of Arboria live a rather "tribal" lifestyle, making their home among the trees. Flash becomes an unwillingly participant in a "Rite of Passage" ceremony with Prince Barin. The loser of which, suffers a painful death...

8. In Ming's palace, what did Ming threaten to do if Prince Vultan did not stand down from an assault on Prince Barin?

Answer: Accept Vultan's daughter as sacrifice

Despite accusing Barin of stealing his offering to Ming, Vultan quickly ceased his attack.

9. In Ming's bedchamber, what was the name of the drink that the server girl gave to Dale, just before the wedding with Ming?

Answer: It had no name

"It has no name", the slavegirl said to Dale. "Many brave men died to bring it here from the Galaxy of Pleasure. It will make your nights with Ming more...agreeable."

10. What director was interested in making the updated version of "Flash Gordon", but then learned that Dino De Laurentiis had bought the rights?

Answer: George Lucas

While both were interested, De Laurentiis secured the rights first. Instead, Lucas began work on "Star Wars". Good choice :) - (Info according to www.IMDb.com)
